disk-like member 4 1; spoke members 6.

The ring 5 ,ot the moldjc'arrier has secured by suitably arranged to one tace thereof a series oi" soaced radially disposed separable cone molds designated broadly by the numeral T, and each con" sisting of a stationary section 8 rigidly secured or mounted on the ring 5, land a movable'co'acting section 9, saidsections being hingedly connected at their lower portions hy means of the pin or pintles l0. Suitable locking means are provided for maintaining escl set of mold sections in closed position, said locking means consisting of' a latch lever ll pivotally `mounted on the ring 5. Aand adapt-ed to cooperate with a latch member l2 pivotally nountcd on the n'iovable mold section 9. rllhe mold members Snare made ot suitable cast metal, and machined to provide coneshaped recesses, the two mold sections together constitutingthe external or outside dimensions ot the cone. ln the present embodiment ot my invention, I have shown two halt sections cast integral and provided with a centrally positioned opening 13 through which the latch lever 1l is adapted to extend.

The latch lever ll is provided at its outer eno with anadjustable block la adapted 'to cooperate with theouter cam-'shaped extrem'- ity l5 ot the pivoted latch meinberl2. 'lhe block 11i carried on the pivoted lever 1l is provided with an undercut shoulder lo adapted to cooperate with the cain-shaped extremity i5 of the latch l2, said latch being limited in its downward movement about its pivot by means ot a shoulder 12u, tor the purpose ot maintainini the latch'meu'iber l2 in a suitiiciently elevated position, so that upon the upward movement ot the latch Alever ll, the end l5 ot the latch member l2 will be engaged by the upper tace otthe block la,

and upon Continued upward movement of the lever 1l, -will rise with it'until said end l5 'rides over the end ot the block lit and engages theundercut shoulder '16; By reason ot the relative positions ot the pivot pins ot' the latch member 'l2 and the latch lever ll, it will be seen that upon release ot the lever ll, a slight bind'ino action will 'take place between the end l5 or the laftelfi men'iber l2 and the undercut slot 1G., said binding),` action being); sufi' it to maintain the parts in locked posV tion. Vihen a downward,torce is applied to the lever il, as will be hereinal'ter described, this bindingy action overcome suiiiciently to permit the camshaped extremityl to become disengaged Yfrom the undercut shoulder lo, thus pern'iitting` the niold sections to separate. To con'ipensate tor 'the wear between the ezitren'iityr 15 ot the latch member l2 and the undercut shoulderl lo ot the block 14, 'the block lll may be adjusted longitudinally ou the lever il. For

eitectiug this longitudinal adjustment, thevr block'll is provided with an eiong at i7, 'through which extends a clamping lbolt 18, the longitudinal adjustment ot the block ino; brackets being' brought about'by means ot a set screw and lock nut 19, and the block being secured in 'its adjusted position by clamping bolt i8.

he n'ialefn'iembers ot the cono forming,` molds con'iprise a series oit radially movable core members 20, carried by laterally extendmeans ot the to, said spokes ser 7ing' as guides to direct the cores into their res] ,active mold n'iembers.,

` Suitable operating rods 22 are provided tor like member l slot 2l extending between the spokes o and radially .'eciprocable with respect therepivotally secured to the rear side ot the ringlike member 5, through the connecting link 25. Each rod 22 is provided at its 'upper end with a suitable roller 2G, adapted to cooper'- atc with andride upon a suitable operating` cam to be hereinafter more'fully described. Y

is a means tor maintainii'ig the cores within their respective molds, l provide toggle members indicatedbroadly by the numeral 27, and consisting,r ot links 28 pivot-ally connected to the Ytront end ot the core bracket-s 2l, and second links 29 pivotally connected to suitable radially adjustable bearing blocks 30, secured to the spoke members 6 adjacent the peripheryot the disk memberlf. The

links 28 and 29 are kpivotally connected at` their 'forward ends, and each link 29 is pro- Y movement of the links 29 about their pivotal connections with the bearingA blocks 3() will cause the links 2S and 29 to maintain the'cores 2O in lixed position wit-hin their respective niolds, the these to.V 'le mechanisms bein g5' accomplished by contact ot the arms 3l with a suitable cam member to be hereinatti-ir more fullyV described. f t y As hereinafter indicated, the relative movcments et the n'iolds 7, 'and cores 20, are automatically accomplished by nica-ns ot the con tinued rotation et the mold carrier, and 'to this endl a iii-ain power or drive shatt- 32 provi ded which may be drivenl 'from any suitable source ot power, such asa drive pulley, electric motor, etc., not shown. The shatt is provided with' a spur gear 33 which engages with a ringgear34t secured to tlie'periphery ot the ringo, whereby tlien'iold cari rier and associated parts are;` driven. The shaft 32 is'iiurther provided with a sprocket 35, which is connected by mean s ctjthe spreek-- et chain 36ste a sprocket wheel 37, keyed to the countershatt 38,V i

Suitable mechanism is provided tor opening and closing the molds and tor locking; and

ing` apparent that `reliiasing` the latchiifip,-` devices associated operation ot therewith. For acconiplishing these various Y movements, suitable cams are secured to the l oit the machine tor stationary `framework engagenicnt by the mold and core operatingl mechanisms as `the mold carrier and associated. parts are rotated von the shalt 3*. controllin the movements ofthe mold section 9, l provide each section with an outwardly extending arm 3S) `tor engagementwithV a cam 40, whereby to move the hinged section ot theV mold into open o r closed position. To' lock the lmold after closing thesaine, a latch operating mechanism is provided, which comprises a pivoted lever 4l anda freely rotating;` wheeler roller 42. rllhe lever eil is pivot-ed intermediate its ends as at 413, and is rocked about said pivot by means or" a cam le mountedon and rotated by the countersh Yft which-cam engages' one end 45 of' the lever to ries a lever lifting` arm lli', designed and positioned to engage the latch lever 11 to litt the same onto the roller l2, whereupon, dueto the continued rotation or the mold carrier, the said roller functions to liiltthe latch lever 11 to bring the undercut shoulder 1G ot' the block 14 into locking engagement with the camshaped extremity 15 of the latch member 12.

ln order to adjust ythe relative movement et' the latch lever 11 with resp-ect to the roller 42 and latch member 12, suitable adjusting means such as a set screw and lock nut i8 may be provided on the lower tace 'or the lever 11, the head orp said set screw serving as an abutment to engage the periphery of the roller l For releasing the latch mechanism prior 'to opening the mold, l provide a suitable stop or abutment 19 support-ed in any suitable munner from the framework 1, and having a downwaidly-inclined edge against which the head of the clamping bolt 18, carried by the latchlever 1l, is adapted to engage to overcome the slight binding action existing between the end 15 or" the locking member 12 and the undercut shoulder 16 of the block l. For opening the mold sections after the release or the latch n'iechanism, l provite a downwardly-inclined cam member 51, rigidly attached to the stationary 'trainework 1, and adapted tobe engaged by the arm or lever 39 carried bythe hinged section 9V of the mold member, the downward inclination or" the said cam member positively forcing Vthe mold sections apart during the rotation of the mold carrier. As the hinged section Q of the mold swings open, the rod 39 engages one end of a. pivoted lever 52, which, under the weight off the mold section, moves downwardly about its pivot against the tension of the coiled spring 53, thus cushioning the initial opening or the mold andguiding the arm 39 thereof onto the lower cam 54, which serves to permit the mold section Q t-o gradually swing to its full-opened position as the mold carrier is rotated.

After vthe molds 7 have been closed and locked and each supplied with the proper amount oit pastry batter by means oit the batter pump to be hereinafter described, continued rotation of the mold carrier functions to operate the cores for the purpose otl torming the hollow pastry cones within the mold sections. A suitable cam is mounted upon the stationary framework 1 and is designed and positioned to be engaged by the end rollers 26 on the core ope lating rods 22. The cam 55, as best shown in F ig. 2, is provided. with a high point 56 for lifting the cores sutliciently above the molds to permit the pastry batter to be supplied thereto, followed by a low point 57 for permitting the cores to seat within the mold sections to form the hollow cones,

' toggle joint 2? andv terminates in an upturned end portion 58 for raising the cores kto permit the escape of steam from the molds during the initial bal(- ing operation. The further rotation ol the mold carrier nieves the rollers tree of the cam 55,whereupon the cores again s at within the closed molds, and in order to n'iaintain 'the same in proper position therein, a suitable cam 59 is provided for engagement by the oaeratine' lcv-er 31 carried bv the toeele D 5 u DO mechanism 27. 1nis cam 59 maintains the toggle in its extended' or locked position throughout the greater part ot the rotation ot' the mold carrier and until the rod or arm '31 contacts with a cam 6l, which breaks the and permits the cores to be elevated'by the subsequent engagement of the rollers 2S with the upwardiy-inclined surface ofthe cam 55. lt is to be noted in this connection that the release of the toggle oint 2? and the opening ol the i'nol'd occurs at substantially thesame point in the cycle oi'.i operation ol the machine. To provide lo'r the removal. ot the cones from the mold sections 8 after the sections 9 have moved to open posit-ion, a

lixedeam G2 is positioned anddesigned to be engaged by the klower guide sleeve 211 oit the core operating mecnanism, which, d`` e to the link connection 25 and the pivotal mounting ofthe upper guide sleeve 23, moves the cores laterally, thus stripping the ba red cones from the stationary mold sections 8.

rlhe batter supply means comprises a ruitable tank or reservoir 68 supported upon a shell or bracket Gl positioned at one side of tie machine on the stationary framework 1, and a charging pump indicated generally by the numeral 55, positioned beneath the tank.

The anm) isL connectedywith the tank or v reservoir 63' by means of nexible conduits 66, said conduits leading to independent pump barrels 627. The pump barrels 67, two of which are provided in the present form ol my 'machine, are each provided with pistons 'or plnn gers 68, the outer ends o'lf said pistons or plunger-s being connected together' for simultaneous operation by means or the cross-head 69. T he pistons or plungers 68 are adapted to be reciprocated within their respective pump barrels 67 by means of a rocker arm ZO pivotally mounted intermediate its ends, one end 71 thereof being enlarged and such `enlarged .portion being` providedv with an elongated slot 72 adapted to cooperate with an adjustable crank pin carried by a crank arm lll secured at one end of the countersha tt 38. rlhe opposite end oithe lever is connected by means of a pivoted link 7 5 to a guide rod 76 carried the cross-head rllie pump barrels 6.7 are designed and propor-.

tioned so as to deliver a predetermined and measured amount of batter to the molds 7 at each stroke of the pistons or plungers G8, and for the purpose of regulating the amount of batter so delivered, the crank pin 73 is radial- Cil Y ce

trame 7 7 and pivoted ly adjustable with respect to the crank y74 to regulate the length of the strokeof the pump.

To accommodate the vpump to the continued rotarv movement of the mold carrierV during the mold charging operation, l provide a suitable rectangular trame 7 7 pivotedV lever whereb the rocking movement oii the lever 7 O, as hereinbeifore described, is imgart-l ed to the frame 77 and its associated parts to cause an oscillation of the same about the f pivot 78.

I provide at the head ot each barrel G7 a three-way valve 8l, said valve being designed to admit batter from the tank or reservoir G3 into the pump barrel 67 when the valve plug isin the position shown in Figj4, and to permit'the'discharge et the batter from the pump kbarrel during the upstroke of the plunger or piston 68 when vthe valve plug is in the position 'shown in Fig. 5. 'lll he valves 8l are connected for simultaneous operation by means of a connecting yoke 82, and are adapted to be automatically brought into charging and discharging position by the oscillatory movement ot the pump by means of a pivoted lever 83 secured to the pump supporting intern'iediateits ends to a pivoted supporting lever 84. The'outer end ot the link 88 connected to a rocking plate 86, pivotally mounted on the side ot' the pump supporting frame 77V as at 87, the plate 86 being connected to the valve `operating yoke 82 by means of a link 88 pivoted intern'iediate its length asat 89 to the pump supporting frame It is thus vobvious that as the pump supporting trame 77 is oscillated about its pivot 78 as hereinbe'fore described, thcinncr end oli the lever 8? connected tothe -trame 77V will, due to the arc through which said frame swings, receive a slight up amtdown movement which will, through the link S5, oscillate the rocking plate 8G about its pivot87, said oscillation, by reason ot the pivotal connection 89 ol' the link 88, serving to throw 'the valve yoke 82 through 90, as shown in dotted lines in Fi g. 7 lt 'r'ound expedient, a suitable stop 90 may be provided ttor limiting the position of the valve, in one direction. For conveying the batter trom the valves 8l to the closed molds 7, suitable discharge nozzles 92 may be` provided, said nozzles, being preferably provided at their discharge end with a Y pivoted valve 93, said valve being` provided with a suitable count erwei ght 94 ior normally closing said discharge pipes to prevent dripy ping oit the batter between mold charging intervals. y

The cone baking mechanism et the present machine comprises a plurality of stationary segmental gas burners 94 and 95,supplied with gas through the supply pipe 9G and branch supply pipes 97 and 98, each ot said branch supply pipes being provided with a control or regulating valve 99. rThe burner 9.4, which extends for substantially one quarter of the circumference of the rotary moldcarrier, is intended toy direct its flame inwardly against the tipsor outer ends o' the cast metal cone molds, to heat the same, and the upper segmental burner 95, which extends tor substantially one-half the circumference of the cone carrier, is intended to direct its flame outwardly against the top portions of the mold and cores. As best shown in Fig. l, I completely enclose the upper portionot the machine in a sheet metal, asbestos-lined heat retaining shield 100, within which the burner 95 is positioned and through which the movable mold carrier is adapted to rotate, said shield constituting an oven for baking the pastry cones as the molds are moved therethrough. i i l in the operation ot the invention, assuming a supply ot batter has been placedV in the tank G3 and the burners 94 andv 95 lhave been ignited, aV suitable clutch (not shown) is operated to transmit power to the main shaft 32 which, through the gear 34' of the mold carrier, drives said mold carrier in the direction or" the arrow shown in Fig. 2; i At'the same time the countershaft 38 is driven by means ot sprockets and 37, and a connecting sprocket .p chain 36, which shaft operates the batter supply pump and the latch lever lifting mechanism, as will be hereinafter described.

Assuming that the apparatus isr in operation as above described, the molds 7 in fully opened position, are moved in a clockwise direction toward the` batter supply pumpV 65. Due to the engagement between the rods 39 carried by the'i'novable sections 9 of the molds, with the mold closing cam 40, said movable mold sections are gradually elevated into closed positions, this operation simultaneously raising the latch lever ll, due to the engagement Abetween it and the spring` buffers 101 carried by the mold sections 9 adjacent thev openings'li?, therein. The mold closing cam 4() is designed to raise the arms 39 oli thev molds so as to completely close the same, at which position the latch lever ll is inV position to be engaged by the litt lever 41, which is continually. rocked about the pivot 43, ldue to the engagement between rthe end45 thereo'l:` and the cam 44 carried bythe p rotating countershaft 38. By means orn the as shown at A in Fig. 2, Y

lifting arm 47A oit the lift lever 4l, the latch isa upon the pivoted latch 12, and to this end a suitable rod or bar 103, electrically insulated from the rest of the machine, may be provided adjacent the roller ll2 and slightly below the path of the arms 39 so that, upon failure of a latch, the movable section 9 of the mold will drop causing the arm 39, thereof to contact with the bar 103 .to complete an elect "ic circuit through a suitable clutch operator-'not shown.

The molds, locked in closed position as above described, are now in position such thatr the nozzles 92 of the batter pump 65 coincide with the cone compartments thereof at the extreme righthand limit of oscillation of the pump which, as hereinbofore described, is in constant operation about the pivot 78, due to its connection with the piston operating lever through the lever 79. At this point the rollersf26'of the core operating rods 22 are in engagement with .the high point 56 of the cani 55, and said cores-are therefore/ elevated above the molds a sufiicient distance toallow the entrance of the nozzles 92`between the tips of the Vcores and the tops of the molds 7, as clearly shown in Fig. immediately upon thereversal of the direction of oscillation of the pump the valves 8l, ycontrolling'the flow o fbatter from the tank' to the puiiip, are operated by 4means of the linkage 83, 84, 85, 8 6, and 8 8, as hereinbefore described, to place'the pump barrels 67 into communication with the nozzles 92, whereupon the batter contained therein is discharged into the cone compartments,it being noted that during the charg-V ing ninterval, the batter pump and the mold carrier are movingtogether in the same direc-l tion, and that when the contents of the pumpl barrels'have been completelyV discharged the movement of the pump in the reverse direction occurs to operate the valves 8l to place the pninp barrels in communication with the batter-"tank to allow the pump to draw a new charge of batter from the tank during its return movement. It lapparent that the oscillation of the vpump is so timed with respect to the rotation of the I nold carrier that the punipwill meejteach mold at the righthand limit of the range ofoscillation of the pump, travel with the `mold during the charging interval, and return, drawing an additional supply of batter fromthe tank during the return movement, to moet the next succeeding mold at the righthand limit of oscillation.

The molds having been thus Ycharged with batter', the rollers 2 6 of the core operating rods 22 ride from thehigh point 5 6 of the cam 55 down the `inclined face thereof tothe low point57, thus allowingthe coresto seat completely within themolds to ,distribute the batter evenly therein and form. the hollow cones. This operation, d ue to the hightemperatnre of the molds andcores, and the moisture contanedin the batter, causes the rapid formation of steam which is allowed to escape by a slight and momentary withdrawal of the coresfrom the molds, said movement being accomplished by the engagement'be# tween the rollers 26 and the upturned end 58 ofthe cam 55. Immediately Vafter this operation, the rollers 26 pass free of the cam 55, thus allowingthe cores to again seat within the molds, whereupon, due to the engagement between the toggle operating lever 3l and the cam 59, said toggle mechanism is moyed to its vlocked position inv which it is maintained by said cam throughout the maior portion of the cycle of operation. l

As hereinbefore noted, the molds and cores are suitably heated by gas burners 94 and the latter being enclosed Within a suitablev oven 100 through which the molds are moved to effect the thorough lbaking of the cones. Upon emerging from the oven 100, the latch lever ll engages the inclined'face 50 of the cani whichengagement.functions to release the latch l2. lhe releaseA of the mold latch is immediately followed by the'engage-v ment between the lever 39 and inclined cam 5 1, thisengagement eifecting a positive opening of themold which is'n'ecessitated due to the tendency of the baked cone toadhere to the mold sections. rwUpon release of' the 'latch l2, followed the positive opening ofthe molds, the movable section 9 of the mold falls downwardly upon the pivoted lever 52 which, due to the s pringi', absorbs theshock of the impact `and'yieldingly guides they mold sections ont@ the @am 5.4!

At approximately the same time the latch Vl2 is released and the mold opened, as above described', the toggle lever 3l passes olf of the cam' 59 and into engagement witlifthe toggle breaking ca m 6l, which functions to raise-` the toggle lever sufliciently' tobreak the toggle joint so that the'subsequ'ent engagement of the rollers 26 with the upwardly inclined surface of the cam 55 simultaneously with the engagement between the cam 62 and the lower pivoted guide sleeve 24 serves to move the cores upwardly and outwardly with respect to'the stationarymold sections 8 to therefore strip the cones from themold sections and discharge the vsame laterally upon a suitably provided endless conveyor belt 102. Continued rotation of the mold carrier brings the open molds again Vinto' engagement with the mold closing cam 40, andthe operation above described is .repeated, it being thus apparent .that'the operation of the machine is continuous and automatic.

' It is to b e noted that, if desired, the internal surfaces of the cone molds and cores may beprovided with suitable designs or inscriptions forv the purpose of ornamenting or otherwise identifying the pastry cones', and that-while have herein fully described and illustrated the preferred embodiment of my invention, sach description'fand illustration Cri 1. pastry cone making machine comprising a support, a mold carrier mounted-thereon and rotatable about a horizontal axis, cone molds carried thereby, batter supply means for charging the molds, sai/l batter' supply means being mounted tor pix eialn'iovement about a horizontal axis, means to rotate the inold carrier, and means to simultaneously oscillate the batter supply about its pivots,
